Friend says Glee star Monteith appeared sober the night he died

New details are emerging in the unexpected sudden death of Canadian actor Cory Monteith in Vancouver last weekend.

Despite two rehab stints, one as recent as April, friends of the troubled Glee star claim he was sober the night he died.

Speaking with RadarOnline.com, an unnamed friend is claiming that Monteith was sober when he left friends at the Portside bar in East Vancouver.

“He wasn’t drinking when we were with him,” the source recalled. “He seemed really happy and healthy when I saw him.”

As for the appearance of drugs, which Monteith previously claimed would consist of “anything and everything, as much as possible,” the source says the 31-year-old appeared to be clean.

“[I’d be] extremely surprised [if it turned out he was on drugs that night],” the star’s pal claimed. “He wasn’t super talkative or misty eyed. Just normal. Catching up, chatting, and then on his way. Everyone expected to be seeing him again shortly, so it wasn’t a big night … It was friends getting together chatting about things that have been going on in their lives.”

For Monteith, that meant the possibility of moving in with his girlfriend and Glee costar Lea Michele.

“We talked about him moving in with Lea and that was really it,” the source revealed.

“(Drugs) were part of his history and he was not exactly secretive about it,” Barb McLintock of the provincial coroner’s office told the press Monday, “but that doesn’t necessarily imply that’s the cause of death.”
